Rats in the garage are a big problem

If you suspect you have rats in your garage, you won’t be very happy about it. There are not the monsters they are usually made out to be and can actually be timid and not dream of entering your house. It’s not ideal to have them around though, and if your garden is full of lots of foliage or you have a garage full of stuff, you’ll want to know how to discourage them.

If you have seen just one rat, you can guarantee you have more. Signs include droppings, chewed plastic, wood or material and cables that have been chewed. So why have they taken up residence in your garage?

Food – like any other creature, if there is a food source nearby, they will be attracted to it. They are not fussy eaters and will chow down on almost anything that’s edible. If you have berries or fruit trees in your garden or any food stored in your garage, you are a magnet for these furry beasts.

Water – if you have leaky pipes or any other standing water in your garage, rats could be using as a handy watering hole.
